On Thursday, filmmaker, television presenter, and actor Sajid Khan took to his social media handle and shared a video in which he said, “Mother India film jo 1957 mein aayi thi.Usme jo chhota bachcha Sunil Dutt bana hua tha, uska naam Sajid Khan tha. Wo 1951 mein paida hua tha. Mein 20 saal baad paida hua. Unki bechare ki death ho gayi. And may his soul rest in peace. Lekin mere kuchh irresponsible media walo ne meri photo daal di. The Mother India film was released in 1957, and the child actor who played Sunil Dutt’s younger version was Sajid Khan. He was born in 1951; I was born 20 years after that. He has passed away; however, some irresponsible media people have used my photo with the news.”
